I'm bumping this decade old thread because I think it's easier to keep all updates for price increase in one thread. I recently noticed that some bag prices have gone up in the US. For instance, the Lindy 26 in Clemence was $6950 at the beginning of the year, but recently I noticed that it is now $7100. The Constance 18 in Epsom was $7250 but have gone up to $7450 in May. Similarly, Birkin 30 in Barenia Faubourg was $12K but is now $12.3K.

While the increase isn't significant (around 3%) I find it interesting that no one has reported much on this. Also, price increase in US generally happens in February/March while it happens in Europe every Jan 1. Find it sneaky that they have increased prices without much communication.

Anyone noticed this or have intel to chime in from their SAs? :shrugs: :thinking:

There was also a rumor around May that the Rodeo horse charms increased by $10-$20 but I don't think that was ever confirmed. A month or two ago, my SA, after attending a full day mandatory corporate meeting, said to "expect a decent price correction" for the new year as "the prices have been constant for the last three years" (here in the US). That's all the details I could get. It is odd that a handful of random items increased mid year though.

Yes, that's right. I forgot about the price increase for Rodeos. If I'm not mistaken even the SLGs went up too. I seem to recall that the Calvi in Epsom was $335?

I saw that the roulis was up to $8050 online if I remember correctly. It was $77xx

But was that also in Evercolor or a different leather? I think @StaceyLyn mentioned that it's Allegretto calfskin which probably cost more? :thinking:

Yes, Barenia has always costs more. It's the same price for heritage Barenia and Barenia Faubourg. Box also costs more. In short, heritage leathers = higher price than regular leather of Togo/Epsom.

Per @papertiger there will be 12.5% increase on silks in the UK come 2019. :eek: :wtf: :death: For comparison it was 10% this year across all depts. In the past, percentage of increase varied by depts but this year was an exception. Remains to be seen what the percentage of increase would be in other depts.

I fear something similar will happen in the US. A couple years ago the price actually decreased for 90s and then there hasn’t been an increase for a couple of years for all scarves. I haven’t heard anything but it’s a gut feeling I have the US is due for one.

Yes, I remember the 90cm silk was $435 and was adjusted to $395 while the CSGM 140 went from $1175 to $1100. Some have said that since there hasn't been an increase in a few years that the US is due for an increase so, time will tell. Hopefully those who have reliable intel from their SAs can/will share.

Did ask yesterday my regular SA here in London about the forthcoming price increase. I was told ''10% in February''. I'm taking that info with a pinch of salt as the SA went on stating that ''price raise never happen in January'' which we all know was certainly NOT the case this year.
Now debating with myself whether I should buy online from the French site or wait until I get home in France next week and check out the stock of SS19 scarves at my local H. I have a bank account there but with the current exchange rate and even after factoring in Visa's commission on foreign transaction, prices are quiet similar those days anyway.

Price increase has consistently been Jan 1 annually in Europe so, I'm :-s not sure about what your SA said. (I've only been buying H since 2013.)

Personally, if I were you I would order online and also check out your local H when you return to see what other silks they might have that isn't online. ;)

I don’t think she was even born in 2013 [emoji23] Joke aside, it always annoy me when people state something wrong rather than admit they don’t know the answer. Especially those actually supposedly “in the know”.
Maybe it will really exceptionally happen later in 2019 and she didn’t remember what happen previously. Only one way to find out: wait and see.
I think I’ll be waiting until I get home and check my local store. I get get 2 items last year before the “official” release date. If they don’t have what I want, I’ll bite the bullet and buy online. I’m there for nearly 3 weeks so plenty of time to return if needed.
